There are not too many about over here now compared to what there was a few weeks ago. I had to search fairly hard to find these blues

Very nice image ED,well done you for finding a few,

I realized you were from the 'wink' Ed.
Funnily enough I did try to get a shot with my wide angle lens but it did not work out. Smile
